a data structure that relies on hash functions for representing a set. The actual structure is a bunch of bits and a few hash functions. To add an element to a Bloom filter, compute the hashes for each hash function, and set each bit high. To test if an element has been added to the Bloom filter, compute the hashes and return true if all the bits are already high.

it’s when some almost human-level AGI algorithms, on petaflop computers, are let loose on exaflop supercomputers, that machine super intelligence might suddenly come into being – with results that might be completely unpredictable.
The Singularity Summit is the premier dialog on the Singularity.
The first Singularity Summit was held at Stanford in 2006 to further understanding and discussion about the Singularity concept and the future of human technological progress. It was founded as a venue for leading thinkers to explore the subject, whether scientist, enthusiast, or skeptic.
Since 2006, the scope of this dialog has expanded dramatically. In 2008, the Singularity entered mainstream consideration. IEEE Spectrum, a sober and mainstream technology publication, issued a special report on the Singularity, and Intel CTO Justin Rattner remarked that “we’re making steady progress toward the Singularity” during his keynote to 2,000 people at the Intel Developer Forum. What was once a relatively unknown concept is now being discussed in corporate board rooms.

Type designers and Web designers have reached a consensus on a format specification for embedding fonts on the Web. Mozilla is already including support for the font format in Firefox 3.6, and wide adoption could come sooner than many expected.
…
- The latest draft of the WOFF File Format specification is online.
- You can now download an official beta of Firefox 3.6, with support for WOFF fonts, from Mozilla’s developer site.
- Typographer Erik Spiekermann has put together a sample page that uses a WOFF version of the popular typeface FF Meta. You’ll need the aforementioned beta of FF3.6 to view the custom fonts.
- Mozilla’s John Dagget and Jonathan Kew have a post with several examples of more advanced typography generated using CSS properties at Mozilla Hacks.
- We have an introduction to
@font-faceand related CSS technology for those looking for more background, as well as a look at some of the issues that prompted solutions like TypeKit and ultimately WOFF.
Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
